I was able to use both PXC 550 and QC 35 for a week. when it come to noise cancelling Bose QC35 is a better choice between the two its Cabin-like pressure(hissing sound) are so pronounced that it can be used effectively without music on. but when it comes to both SOUND QUALITY and NC, PXC 550 is way better. NC of PXC is more natural. finding the balance between SQ and NC is hard. the mids, and highs of Sennheiser are just smooth and mature that it blends so well. i ended up returning my QC 35 and even after 2mos of use i still think i made the right choice. Great review sir!
Booredatwork.com I could not agree more. when I was deciding back then my main reason is to get the better ANC but listening to both qc35 and PXC 550 sound quality and the natural ANC of Sennheiser drawn me closer to this headphones your points are right on cue! keep it up buddy I can't wait for your Sony MDX 1000 review
Friend let me test his Bose QC 35 so I got interested in buying similar headset. I was thinking between Bose and Sony, but the salesman told me he likes Sennheiser because it has wider frequency bandwidth. So I tested them all, and I really didn't hear noticeable difference with the noise cancellation. But what I did notice was that if you recharge Bose or Sony, they can't use it. But Sennheiser can. Also Sennheiser was 100 euros cheaper than Bose. So... better bass, ANC works while reloading and 100 euros cheaper than Bose, my only regret is that I didn't get these a year ago.
does anyone know if these connect to two bluetooth devices simultaneously? So my android phone and windows 10 laptop at the same time so i can hot swap back and forth?
Absolutely love your video man and the dance moves made it even better,it's was you having some fun with your sounds and made my day,loved it,instant smile on my face in a happy fun way,I like your recommendation too,thanks,will look at getting them
Booredatwork.com hi,I really need to know a few things,I'm tossing up between these and the wireless momentum 2.0,if you have them on your wall,can you tell me which sounds best and if the newer Bluetooth 2.o on these makes a better sound than the older Bluetooth on the momentum in the sense some people claim the newer Bluetooth is closer to wired,also,sorry,can you tell me when these are plugged in and the wireless momentums which sounds best as I also want to play them wired sometimes if it's an improvement,lastly can you also please tell me are the ear pad replaceable like I think the momentums are and will I have trouble with the ear pads fitting my ears being egg shaped,my ears are 7cm and Ti wear a sleeper style ear ring from when I was 20 (now 56 ) if you could help me with these questions I would make the world of difference to me please,I love music and want to play Norah jones' songs from her first album or van morrisons have I told you lately that I love you,and have the hairs stand up on my arms and get that big dopey smile you can get when it just sounds right,will these do that for me ,(big ask I know)
Booredatwork.com GOT THEM TODAY,LOVE THEM,PUT THEM ON STRAIGHT AWAY AND WALKED 40 MINUTES WITH THEM ON TO GO HOME,BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THEM: "I just wanted to dance",I had a great big dopey smile on my face,and just felt like singing and dancing all the way home,you really do just get lost in the music and it's just so enjoyable,like I said"I JUST WANTED TO DANCE" and have Fun,
Hi, I need to know a couple of things please if you can get back to me,when the noise cancelling is turned off, Do they sound any better ? and if you plug them in is the sound even better again? I'm trying to decide between these and the Momentum 2.0 Wireless, I'm hoping these sound even better with the latest Bluetooth technology over the older Bluetooth on the older Momentum 2.0 Wireless? Can you compare them against each other for me please, if you have them on your wall
I honestly feel I got a defective pair .. they won't fully charge after 24 hours charging .. they pause during music playback.. even with the app off .. they're great but I'm curious if anyone else has had the same issue .. good review .. I want another pair but this quirk sucks
Hi, I'm from Brazil, I've seen some reviews, and I can not reach a consensus on quality sound, which is better: sony MDX 1000 or sennheiser pxc 550? Could you please help me?
I tried one of these in a best buy today but wasn't a fan of the audio quality for some reason... I couldn't figure out why though. Compared to the bose qc 35 these didn't perform like I thought they would. IDK. Maybe it was just the demo unit that didn't sound right. Just hard to make a big purchase like this without trying it first and the one and only time that I get to they end up disappointing me :/
One thing that none of this reviewers ever ever say about the sennheiser headphones is that the app that has the eq only works on music you own downloaded on your phone. To everything else the sound is just the same as the QC 35. So they aren’t better. Also to the big headed audience, the 550 are very small even when they are completely stretched out. So in sound the Sony wh 1000 xm2 are still better. Is a shame that the Sony’s have the reputation of breaking because they are for sure the better headphones.
Yes, this is a pretty important bit of information that is somehow never mentioned in any of the reviews I've seen/read. Pretty much a deal breaker. The app relies on a Tidal subscription. So if you use Apple Music or Spotify, you can't use the app.
use both. if you're just for a noise cancelling go with bose qc35 if you want a balance of both SOUND QUALITY and noise cancelling yes pxc 550 is way better than qc 35.
In terms of noise cancelling it sure is but I strongly preffer the Sennheisers for their sound characteristics. Once you try the sennheiser sound, you're not gonna want anything else. That is the matter of taste, of course but let me tell you a story. I had a sony earbuds in times they were "in".They had a strong bass and that wat I wanted, I was 20. They broke and I got a recomendation to try Sennheisers. At girst i thought: whete is the bass? But after 2 weeks I found sth interesting.my ears got used to the sound of sennheiser and I descovered music is not about bass. It's about ballanced sound where bass is heard but it is not stealing the show. That is why I always will recommend the sennheisers. One wrong headphones i had from them was the Momentum on-ear but they were releaded to compative with beats. The sound was horrible, trully. But uf you buy these, you will experience the sennheiser sound as it was meant to be and therefore the LIVE, RICH snd BALLANCED sound. Period :D
I know that they fucking suck. My choice is the bose qc35.... Only 2 flaws in the qc35s are you can't turn off the noise cancelling and THE FUCKING 3.5MM JACK! it Pisses me the fuck off that they still have the 2.5...
wow people can't except if someone has a different opinion than them lol. AH HMMM! UMM YOUR WRONG SKULL CANDY IS THE MASTER RACE BRAND OF HEADPHONES! EVEN BEATS ARE BETTER THAN THESE lol.
Your opinion is fine, even if ridiculous but what's with the master race comment! Germans have a great engineering history and in case you've forgotten the Japanese did some pretty horrible things in WW2. I'm buying these. The Sony's have broken for some people and those customers were told Sony would repair (at nearly the cost of a new pair!) finally they admitted to a problem after 70+ complaints and loosing in court. Too late Sony, my cash is going to this company with a great reputation for quality and not simple profit - Sony probably rushed out their product o compete with these. A claimed 4Hz freq claim is a way to fool people they are better too. The human ear is capable of hearing 17-17000 hz another con. The MDR1000X are possibly better in some areas but not all…built that well they offer a 2 year warrantee? Nope! They didn’t honor the 1 year one despite being a massive company. I bet you think BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW Porsche are shit cars too, Siemens make MRI machines for hospitals too dickhead. Beats better! HAHAH whatever.
the hinges on the Sony MDR -1000X and xm2 are a weak point, mine broke after a year and Sony wouldn't even help. You can't replace them either unless you buy a soldering iron and open up the whole thing. PXC550 hands down
Ordered these today for $239 on Amazon, can't wait to try them out. My first pair of NC headphones. Great review!

+Reyner L that's the exact balance I am talking bout. Bose ANC still edges out everyone. But the audio quality is flat in comparison
Booredatwork.com I could not agree more. when I was deciding back then my main reason is to get the better ANC but listening to both qc35 and PXC 550 sound quality and the natural ANC of Sennheiser drawn me closer to this headphones your points are right on cue! keep it up buddy I can't wait for your Sony MDX 1000 review
+Reyner L thanks. Still waiting for Sony to send them over. But heading to CanJam in NYC this weekend. A headphone convention. Should be fun.
What about loudness in comparison to the Bose?
Listening to the video on PXC 550
These are $199.99 now on Amazon. Bought these gonna return my QC35
Good choice, I love mine.
That was a great price but they have gone up from several months ago
Joe Kilpatrick I got mine for $234 which is still over $100 off retail so that’s still a steal of a price!
$179 right now

David Manley yes
Sad no AAC codec support. :/ I'm on a crappy iPhone 6s. Aptx will work an a Mac though. Why? Why?! More reasons to hate my iPhone...
iphone SUX... go Samsung for Aptx or huawei for Aptx HD
Forget to mention I'm extremely satisfied with them
did you notice sound leak when you put volume at high level?
Man ur emotions has forced me literally to buy these ones.Satisfied completely with these ones.
Same with me. His review and emotions about these headphones has made me appreciate them even more.
Just orderd them
Can I use these to chat on PS4 and Xbox using the wire?
Absolutely love your video man and the dance moves made it even better,it's was you having some fun with your sounds and made my day,loved it,instant smile on my face in a happy fun way,I like your recommendation too,thanks,will look at getting them
+Ken Purchase my pleasure. Glad I could help, especially with the dance moves 😂. If you do get them let me know what you think

do one thing sony mdr 1000x vs v-moda wireless(although no ANC but still) vs these sennhieser
does the sound quality get better with the jack wire plugged in?
teo7thess I don't think so
Hi, I need to know a couple of things please if you can get back to me,when the noise cancelling is turned off,
Do they sound any better ?
and if you plug them in is the sound even better again?
I'm trying to decide between these and the Momentum 2.0 Wireless,
I'm hoping these sound even better with the latest Bluetooth technology
over the older Bluetooth on the older Momentum 2.0 Wireless?
Can you compare them against each other for me please, if you have them on your wall
awesome I wonder how the battery life is compared to the plantronics backbeat pro 2
+Shuaibu Ahmed backbeat pro 2 still have the best battery life. Those tbad boys can last for 3-4 days
How do these compare with HD1 wireless?
I honestly feel I got a defective pair .. they won't fully charge after 24 hours charging .. they pause during music playback.. even with the app off .. they're great but I'm curious if anyone else has had the same issue .. good review .. I want another pair but this quirk sucks
They are paired with my laptop, windows 10 but headphones are not recognising connection, any ideas people?
So do you think which one ı should buy pxc 550 ır bose qc 35 I am not travelling a lot but noise canceling is again important which one?
0:16 You've declared war to the tech world.
It is!! Hahah
How often to these models get renewed like when will the new generation come out?
Its released this month, might hit markets next month
Hi, I'm from Brazil, I've seen some reviews, and I can not reach a consensus on quality sound, which is better: sony MDX 1000 or sennheiser pxc 550? Could you please help me?
Man that's difficult, both are really good
love the moves bro! work it lol keep up the great content! before I get a headset I always check to see if you have a review on it
+Shaman Charriere thanks.
So they're comfortable? And they work with PS4 correct ?
+Jonathan Diaz if you use the line in cable. sure
How good is the bass and mids on these?
It so funny they are so simmilar to my philips shd9850nc wich i use almost for year now .
I tried one of these in a best buy today but wasn't a fan of the audio quality for some reason... I couldn't figure out why though.

I love how he says 3,99 for 399
Music in intro?
How well does this headset works for gaming?
Including the microphone
Christopher Val Tronco no
get the gsp 500 for gaming
Would these also work with a ps4?

hows the bass?
Better than the Bose QC35?
DJ GMONEY nope... The qc35s are better.
use both. if you're just for a noise cancelling go with bose qc35 if you want a balance of both SOUND QUALITY and noise cancelling yes pxc 550 is way better than qc 35.
Still using 2019 awesome headphones $230
Black Mamba 😱
How is the bass on these compared to the beats studio?
2:20 best part of the video :)
Timtoxic new edition does that
Batteries won't charge (2 years +1 month)
Funny man very well done 😅
Wrong. The best ANC goes to the sony MDR 1000X.
+Bardock The Legendary Warrior
Bardock The Legendary Warrior you done listened to them both?

BS! These are not the best by a long shot. I purchased and just returned them. Sound quality leaves much to be desired.
won't play...
SEINNHEISER
I know that they fucking suck. My choice is the bose qc35.... Only 2 flaws in the qc35s are you can't turn off the noise cancelling and THE FUCKING 3.5MM JACK! it Pisses me the fuck off that they still have the 2.5...
DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT TO USE WITH DISCORD. MIC DOES NOT WORK
rather buy the QC 25
1st
Faze Booce is this vid playing for you?
Jonathen Bishop yes

@@grahamnumber7123 it was a joke :)
Then Shaman should have written what you just have :-) His caps lock got stuck mid joke?
Nah... The Sony MDR-1000X is the best.
Shawn Orjiakor iv listened to them,, they good,, but not the best
Till they crack
The soundleakage on that headset makes it a woofer 😑
the hinges on the Sony MDR -1000X and xm2 are a weak point, mine broke after a year and Sony wouldn't even help. You can't replace them either unless you buy a soldering iron and open up the whole thing. PXC550 hands down
way better than sony, love pxc 550
